Course Description 本課程分為兩部分：(1) 介紹使用 Tableau 軟體視覺化呈現圖表的技能；(2) 介紹使用專業統計軟體 SAS 進行一般研究所需的基本統計分析。教師將逐步引導學生在期中以真實資料完成一份簡單的專題報告，並在期末完成一套虛擬研究數據的分析表格。

This course comprises two parts. The first part introduces the skills of using Tableau software to create visulaized tabulates and graphs, the second part introduces the skills of using a professional statistical software, SAS, to perform basic statistical analyses. The instructor will step-by-step guide the students to complete a simple project in the midterm report, and create a series of statistical tables by using a sample data at the end of semester.
